Market shrimp, brine shrimp, krill, beefheart, live ghost shrimp and guppies when they catch em (I currently have some adult guppies and shrimp breeding in my show tank, how they have survived is beyond me), frozen mysis shrimp, bloodworms, crickets and hikari cichlid gold, he steals it from his cichlid room mates.
What do you feed your bichirs?

I feed mine earthworms,frozen bloodworms,frozen beefheart,and in his life time has got one zebra danio. Not the best diet i know.
Well I went w/ raw turkey heart chunks tonight. My albino senegal LOVED it, swam around with a piece in his mouth, he'd stop, chew it a bit, swim some more, stop, chew some more. etc. Did this with about 3 pieces of it. My clarias cat had a similar attitude, except for swimming with it, he'd shake his body to tear off smaller pieces, eat them, then repeat the process. I didn't see if my ornate any since she rarely eats with the lights on, so I turned the lights off on her tank before the big Jag ate it all on her.
definitely. Not sure if it's because it was just something new or what, but I've never seen a fish react this way to a new food, even when I started feeding market shrimp and various other seafoods.
